The ‘Your Heart Matters’ bus is touring the country to offer free health care checks to spot heart valve disease and raise awareness of the condition which is one of ‘Britain’s biggest killers’.
Heart valve disease affects one in every 45 people with tens of thousands having the condition without knowing it.
Patients experience fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, and if left untreated, severe aortic stenosis, the most common form of heart valve disease, is fatal within two years of diagnosis.
